Here’s a teaser about our Shore brothers story scheduled to run in Thursday’s paper.

DU teammates Drew Shore and Nick Shore face their little brother and U.S. 18-under forward Quentin Shore in Friday’s exhibition at Magness Arena. The Shores were born in Denver, raised in Cherry Hills and played hockey for the Junior Pioneers, Littleton Hawks and/or Colorado Thunderbirds. Young stud Baker Shore, 12, is currently playing for the Adam Foote-coached U13 Thunderbirds and, according to Mrs. Sarah Shore, “Bakes” has been invited to practice with Quentin and Team USA in Friday’s morning skate.

Read much more about this interesting family’s hockey exploits in tomorrow’s paper. Some leftover stuff:

Worried that little bro “Q” might get hurt by your teammates?

“He’ll do just fine,” Nick said. “We’re both hoping he plays really well but, at the same time, we’re going to give him a hard time. So we’ll see how it goes . . . He’s already starting a little bit of trash talking, telling Drew and I he’s going to make us look bad. We’re both looking forward to seeing him on the ice.”

“One of the reasons I like him is he has a pretty big mouth,” Drew said of Quentin. “He’s definitely said if he does score he’s going to find something funny do it. I’ll try to not let that happen.”

ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT Quentin is one of THREE former Thunderbirds playing for the U.S. U18 team. Defensemen Gavin Stoick and Seth Jones also played for the organization at one point (U12 to U18).
